The unstated goal is for the financiers to get no risk government subsidized rent. Meanwhile, unless it is senior housing (which it should be), the community's crime rate will increase, and all the "suspended sentences" from the liberal judicial system will make the local folks lock their door whenever they leave their homes. Essentially, the community pays the price and the financiers laugh all the way to the bank.
